And now, to a very special "play of the day" I'm going to throw it to a very special "gma" correspondent. Abc's josh elliott. Thanks, josh. Looking good, man. Coming up today for this "play of the day." A very special one defitting the national title game that is now just hours away. When this rose bowl swells with 100,000 people tonight, it is fair to say there's one young man who will be a bit more excited than all the rest. My god. Oh, my god! Yeah! What is it? tickets to the bcs national championship? I'm now joined by none other than young r.J. Meyer. Thanks for being with us today on the couch. Yeah, yeah. Take me back to that moment. Did you have any idea what you were about to see before you saw it? I reached in and opened it, in my head I'm thinking, this has to be the tickets. I was surprised that it was the tickets. I can't wait for this last game to just -- hopefully have an auburn victory. You mentioned your dad. What is it like to be here with him? It was amazing. My dad was deployed last year. He came back. He's been taking me to the game since I was aboutyears old. I think everybody is incredibly happy that you and your dad, newly returns, are here together. Best of luck, r.J., Merry christmas. Nice meeting you. Josh back to you. We'll be back. Oh, yes, and by the way, way to go, santa claus. Way to go. You should have seen that kid. That's about as happy as you can imagine. And you look mighty comfy onnen the couch, too. Much more ahead with josh.
